New DesktopServer Version 3.2.5 Released

A new version of DesktopServer (version 3.2.5) is now available in our downloads section. This version includes important updates to both our free DesktopServer Limited and premium member access DesktopServer version.

Update Instructions

First, you must stop web and database services using DesktopServer’s first option “Stop or restart the web and database services”, followed by “Stop the web and database services”. Once database and web services have stopped, be sure to close the DesktopServer application.

Download the ZIP archive for your specific platform (Windows or Macintosh) with the ‘update only’ option from your account.

Replace the main application program inside your current server folder:

Fixes folder ownership when using the ‘Copy website’ feature on Mac OS X.

Fixes orphaned websites not displaying the [Not Found] indicator when listing sites in the Copy/Remove screen on Windows.

Troubleshooting

MacOS X Lion users may need to unlock and grant Read & Write access to the XAMPP folder in order to update DesktopServer.app. Ctrl click or right-click the XAMPP folder and select ‘Get Info’. From the ‘Sharing & Permissions:’ section, unlock the folder and grant Read & Write to at least the currently logged in user. Be sure to ‘Apply to enclosed items…’. You may now replace the DesktopServer.app application.
